Elessar-Eärfalas Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 ya looks good katarn, i used Photoshop to make mine!
Katarn07 Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 How'd you get the words in all of yours to turn out the way they did? Photoshop also? That is the main part of my sig I'm not happy with. Best I could scrounge up though... I am getting an alternate one to match my dogs avatar I have sometimes too. Just fiddling around with what font to use...
Eldritch Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Hey Elessar, does your name mean "Star of the Sea-shore" in Elvish? I was curious so I started flipping thru the Silmarillion.
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 well...im actually not sure lol. ive been asked alot of questions about my name but im not sure about that. whats the Silmarillion?

Taken from the back of the book: The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a work whose origins stretch back to a time long before The Hobbit. Tolkien considered The Silmarillion his most important work, and, though it was published last and posthumously, this great collection of tales and legends clearly sets the stage for all his other writing. The story of the creation of the world and of the First Age, this is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back and in whose events some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part[...] Basically speaking, it's a compilation of all of the backstory that Tolkien wrote over the decades before, during, and after publication of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. In the back it's got appendixes which contain, among other things, a basic (and brief) summary of the Elvish language, which is how I deciphered your name. El (should actually have the little wedge thing above the 'E') - 'star' -essar I believe has something to do with royalty (in this case, a royal or highly prized star), unless I'm mistaken. My elvish isn't so good. Ear (I don't know how to make the dots above the 'E') - "sea" (Quenya); the Sindarin word gaer is apparently derived from the same original stem. falas - 'shore, line of surf' (Quenya); another derivative from the root was Quenya falma '(crested) wave' So, roughly translated, you get "Star of the Sea Shore."
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 wow, nice post thats wicked...i never knew any of that stuff, big LOTR fan i am eh, heh thats awesome, thanks ya! is the Silmarillion located at the back of any of the LOTR books?

The appendixes from the back of the LOTR books do show up in a MUCH more complete form in the Silmarillion, but there's really no substitute for it. The Silmarillion is about 370 pages of Middle Earth history and information.
Katarn07 Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I got a 1-volume edition of the trilogy at the start of the school year, but had to let it collect dust as I read Night and Lord of the Flies (both some of the worst books ever read, IMO). Just re-started it before finals couple weeks ago and forgot all these names! So, I found in the back that there are about 5 appendixes and maps. First time I put them to use. Almost done with FotR, but need to read Julius Caeser and To Kill a Mockingbird soon. Jeez! I hate Eng/ Lit this year...
Katarn07 Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Hey, can you have a .gif sig? An animated one I mean??? Haven't seen one, but that'd be awesome to have!

Katarn07 Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 InsaneSith made my avatar. I don't know how to do anything when it comes to moving pics...
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted February 1, 2003 Author Posted February 1, 2003 hmm...well ill try and make a gif and put it on to see if it works later this week okay?
Darklighter Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 I have just made a brand new image sig and matching avatar, and I must say, they look awesome:DCan't wait to use it on here...only 133 points to go;)...
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted February 1, 2003 Author Posted February 1, 2003 lets see it, or do we gotta wait?!
Matt-Liell Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 If anybody needs any avs or sigs I would glady make them, I specialize in LotR and Star Wars ones.
Darklighter Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 I would show it, but then it wouldn't be such a surprise when I started using it. I'll give you a hint to what it looks like: It's 500 x 80 pixels, very blue, has Tidus from FFX in it, and lots of cool writing. There, that;s all I'm saying. You'll see it in 130 points;)
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted February 2, 2003 Author Posted February 2, 2003 Darklighter thats awesome man, wikked sig pic. one of the best ive seen!
Matt-Liell Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 I've got one/some but I need some more points to get it on LF. Heres my fav:

Clemme w/Stick Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Aru-Wen What do you think of my new av/sig/glowy? Looks nice d00d. Reminds of the actor who plays Hagrid also plays a role in the newer Bond movies... -Clemme
Eldritch Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Elessar-Eärfalas heh i like it. looks really good howd you do the kinda of border thing around the outside of the sig/av? It's the 'bevel' effect in Photoshop. And Clemme, it is the actor that played Valentin in the newer Bond movies (his charater died in The World Is Not Enough, I believe). His name is Robbie Coltrane. Also had a little known role in Let It Ride, one of my favorite movies, starring Richard Dreyfus.
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted February 14, 2003 Author Posted February 14, 2003 kool, ill have to play around with that whole "bevel" effect
